*Previously*

"Feast on their fear, Alucard!" Ichigo causing a small tower of spirit energy to appear and disappear quickly leaving Ichigo standing there holding his two pistols in his had with his new attire as he looked at the captured man and the new arrival with a cold look in his eyes.

"I am sorry to say this," Ichigo said while looking at the man who just descended from the ceiling. "But you only came here to die," he said in a cold tone as he pointed the Jackal at the man and blood lust filled the room causing everyone to sweat slightly.

*BANG!*

Chapter 16: Game Over!

Ichigo fired a shot of condensed spirit energy at the masked man as his feet touched the ground. A small bullet of black and red spirit energy traveled towards the man at an alarming rate but the man didn't so much as flinch. Instead, he raised his hand and a small portal opened up in front of him swallowing the bullet. Ichigo sensing danger behind him immediately turned around and cursed under his breath at what he saw. Behind him was a similar portal to the one that swallowed his shot.

"Well shit," Ichigo said getting a good picture of what is about to happen. As he said that the black and red bullet he fired a few seconds ago came flying out of the portal and slammed right into Ichigo's head and piercing through causing everyone including the kidnappers' eyes to widen in shock. Standing then in front of them was Ichigo with a hole in the middle of his head. They all looked on with eyes the size of dinner plates as Ichigo slowly turned his head and looked at the kidnappers with a smile on his face as the hole slowly began to close up with some kind of red and black substance. Two seconds later Ichigo stood there perfectly fine without even a wound to show for the wound he just sustained.

"Just what the hell are you?" Kurōdo said with a hint of fear in his voice. Ichigo looked at them with cold eyes through his sunglasses before he replied in a chilling tone.

"Your death," Ichigo said before he pointed both the Jackle and the Casull at both of them causing them to panic slightly.

"Noba, I think it's time we go!" Kurōdo with a lot of fear in his voice to the masked man now named Noba.

"I agree," Noba replied coolly as a giant portal opened up underneath the two of them causing them to sink into it even with Kurōdo still bounded by Ichigo's kido. Ichigo, however, wasn't about to let them leave here without a scratch.

"Homing Shot!" Ichigo said as he pulled both simultaneously causing two black and red bullets of spirit energy to exit the gun and make their way to their designated targets. Noba and Kurōdo saw the shots and smile before they spoke.

"Too slow," Kurōdo mocked as his and Noba's head disappeared into the portal. As they disappeared into the portal the giant red portal on the ground in Orihime's apartment began to shrink and just when Ichigo's friends began to think that all hope was lost they all saw the two bullets that Ichigo fired change direction and took a dive into the portal before it could disappear following their targets to where ever they go.

"Are you guys alright?" Ichigo said with a sigh as he looked at his friends.

"Yeah, we're fine," Uryu replied as he helped Chad up. Renji walked up and stood next to Ichigo before he spoke.

"It seems they came here trying to kidnap one of us," he said causing everyone to narrow their eyes.

"Yeah, and it also seems they can transform into us as well," Uryu said.

"Okay, from now one we all stay together," Ichigo said as he adjusted his sunglasses. "There was something oddly familiar about those two, however," he said causing everyone to look at him with wide eyes.

"What do you mean?" Chad asked in a slightly pained voice still feeling the effects of Kurōdo headlock.

"Their spiritual energy, even though it is strange I can't help but feel as though I felt it somewhere before," Ichigo said as he began to think.

"I couldn't sense any spiritual energy coming from them," Chad noted causing Ichigo to look at him with a confused looked.

"Really?" Ichigo asked causing him to nod his head. Ichigo then turned and looked at Renji to see if he sensed anything only to see Renji shake his head saying no. "Well that is odd," Ichigo said as he walked up to one of the window to see what is going outside.

"It could possibly mean that you have a higher sensitivity to sensing spirit energy," Uryu hypothesizes causing Ichigo to nod his head and made a mental note to ask Alucard about it later.

"Maybe," Ichigo said as he looked out the window. "It seems as though all the heavy winds stopped," Ichigo said.

"Yeah, and the doors are open again," Chad said as he opened the door. Ichigo then turned to them and spoke in a frustrated tone.

"I am done playing these games," he said before he started walking towards the door. "You guys head to Urahara's shop, I'll go collect my body from my place and meet you there," Ichigo said as he walked out the door.

"Wait, why do you need to collect your body," Renji asked as he too walked out of the door.

"If they are planning to pick us off one by one my I don't want to leave my body at home where it is just a sitting duck," Ichigo replied causing everyone to nod their heads. Ichigo then flash-stepped away in the direction of his house. When he arrived home he opened his bedroom window and let out a sigh of relief seeing his body was there and was okay. He hopped into the room and walked straight to his closet where Kon was sleeping and opened it before he grabbed the little stuffed lion over his mouth making sure he didn't scream.

"What the!?" A muffled yell from Kon came.

"Shhhh!" Ichigo said as he held on to the stuffed animal with one hand and placed his finger to his lip with his other. Ichigo then removed his hand from the stuffed lion's mouth before he spoke. "Come with me, it isn't safe here," Ichigo said before he walked over to his desk and wrote a note for his dad and sisters telling them not to worry.

"What do you mean it's not safe here!?" Kon yelled/asked in a hushed voice.

" I'll explain it once we get to Kisuke's shop," Ichigo said as he picked up his body and placed it over his shoulder all while still in his Shikai. "Hop on my shoulder and hold on tight," Ichigo said as he climbed up and the bed and place his foot on the window getting ready to flash-step out of the room. Kon climbed up onto the bed and hopped onto Ichigo's shoulder before the duo flash-stepped out of the room and began making their way to Kisuke's shop. It only took about two minutes before Ichigo appeared in front of Kisuke's shop with his body slung over his shoulder and a terrified Kon holding on for dear life. "You can get off now," Ichigo said as he jerked his shoulder knocking the poor stuffed lion off.

"Ouch!" Kon yelled as he hit the ground. Ichigo ignored the complaining stuffed lion and made his way into the shop. As he opened the door he saw all the lights were on and he could hear voices coming from the sitting room. Ichigo carried his body to the back room where the voices were coming and opened the door. When he opened it he saw Renji and the guys and already arrived and they were all sitting around a table with Tessai and Kisuke drinking tea.

"Hey Kisuke, Is it okay for me to leave my body here for a while?" Ichigo asked as he walked into the room.

"Yeah it'll be safe here," Kisuke replied in a serious voice. "We need to settle this soon before someone else get nabbed," Kisuke said as Ichigo walked into one of the connecting rooms and placed his body down.

"Would someone tell me what is going on!?" Kon yelled as he walked up to the table.

"Orihime has been kidnapped," Renji said causing the little stuffed lion's eyes to widen. "And it seems they are trying to pick us off one by one," Chad added.

"Do you think Aizen could be involved in this?" Renji asked as Ichigo sat down in between Kisuke and Chad.

"It's hard to tell right now," Ichigo replied as he watched Tessai poured him some tea.

"Urahara, were you able to find out anything from that telephone conversation?" Uryu asked while looking at Kisuke.

"I was hoping I could get the spiritual equivalent to a fingerprint off of it but sadly I got nothing," Kisuke said as he picked up a cup of tea.

"What does that mean?" Renji asked while looking at the shop keeper.

"Who knows, but all I can tell is that we are not dealing with humans or soul reapers," Kisuke replied causing Ichigo to narrow his eyes.

"It's not a hollow either," Ichigo added to what Kisuke said. "That spirit energy was nothing like a hollow's," he said causing Kisuke to look at him.

"You were able to sense them?" Kisuke asked with a curious voice.

"Yeah, it felt similar somehow but I can't put my finger on it," Ichigo said with a nod.

"From what we know there are at least three of them, the two men from tonight and the little girl who we talk to on the phone," Uryu noted.

"Well, there is only one of them now," Ichigo said with a smirk confusing all of them. "There is no way those two could survive those shots I fired, I made sure of it," Ichigo said as he pulled his two pistols out from his coat and placed them on the table. Before anyone could say anything to what Ichigo just said the telephone int he corner of the room started to ring. No one said a thing or moved a muscle all they did was stare at each other for a few seconds before Ichigo got up with a smirk on his face and made his way to the phone. "Hello," Ichigo said as he picked up the phone.

"You think you are so tough don't you?" came the angry voice of the little girl.

"Awww, what's wrong?" Ichigo asked in a mocking tone. "Did I upset the little girl by foiling her kidnapping and killing her friends?" Ichigo asked as he continued to mock the little girl on the line.

"Hahahaha!" the little girl laughed confusing Ichigo. "You thought you killed Noba and Kurōdo? Don't be silly," the little girl said causing Ichigo's eyes to widen.

'Impossible!' Ichigo thought to himself.

"She is right master, there are now new tombstones in here," Alucard said from inside Ichigo's inner world. Ichigo immediately calmed himself down before he spoke.

"So, what do you want I'm kind of busy you know," Ichigo said in a bored tone.

"Well, I had fun playing with you guys earlier I wanted to continue at the karakura town museum," the little girl said in a cheerful tone.

"Not interested," Ichigo replied before he hung up the phone causing everyone's eyes to widen in shock.

"Ichigo what are you doing!?" Uryu yelled/asked.

"I'm testing a theory," Ichigo replied. As he said that the phone began to ring again causing him to smirk. "Hello," Ichigo said into the phone.

"How dare you hang up the phone me!" the little girl yelled. "You do that again I will kill your friend," she said causing Ichigo to chuckle.

"Okay," Ichigo replied causing everyone's eyes to widen in horror.

"W-what?" the little girl stammered out in shock.

"I said okay kill her," Ichigo replied before he hung up the phone once more.

"Ichigo have you gone mad!?" Uryu asking in an angry voice.

"Relax, they clearly need something from us and Orihime is their only bargaining chip so they are not going to kill her," Ichigo said calmly. "If I am right the phone will be ringing again anytime now," Ichigo said and right on cue, the phone began to ring.

"What is it now?" Ichigo said in a fake bored tone.

"Get to the museum and bring all of your friends," the little girl said in an angry voice.

"I told you-" Ichigo was cut off by the little girl hung up the phone causing him to chuckle. Ichigo then turned and looked at his friends before he spoke. "They want us to go to the museum," he said as he walked back over to the table and sit down.

"Don't you think you are playing a dangerous game, Ichigo?" Kisuke asked as Ichigo sat down. Ichigo sighed before he replied.

"It may sound like that but I know what I am doing," he said before he looked to his friends. "They want us to go to the museum which has likely been booby-trapped for us," Ichigo said as he sipped his tea.

"Up until now everything has been going all according to their plans," Uryu said as he adjusted his sunglasses. "They did not plan on Ichigo being able to capture and likely kill them but the next time they will be ready," he added in a serious tone.

"That's not what worries me," Ichigo said as he narrowed his eyes. "She just said that those two who I shot are perfectly fine," he said causing Kisuke and Renji to look at Ichigo with wide eyes.

"What's the big deal?" Uryu asked while looking at Ichigo. "Maybe you missed," he said causing Ichigo to shake his head.

"No, that shot I fired locks onto the spiritual energy of its target and follows their every move," Ichigo said as he placed the cup of tea down on the table before he looked at Renji. "And the last time I fired a less powerful than that one I tore through Renji's Shikai and his arm," Ichigo said causing Renji to grab his previously injured arm.

"He is right," Renji said surprising everyone. "My Shikai only recently fixed itself and I was only able to reuse my arm because of Orihime's healing ability. If t wasn't for her I would have probably lost my arm for good," Renji said surprising everyone once more while at the same time making everyone wonder just how much is Ichigo holding back.

"There is no way those two could have survived," Ichigo said before he got up. "But One thing I know for a fact, they are not making it out of that museum alive," Ichigo said in a cold tone before he looked at his friends. "Let's go," he said as he pulled out his two pistols and began making his way to the door with his friends all following behind him. "Come on, Kon," Ichigo said causing the little stuffed lion to become happy and follow them out of the shop.

"Finally realizing that you need my particular skill set," Kon said cockily as he followed the guys out of the shop.

"No, we might need a chew toy to give to the security dogs at the museum," Ichigo said causing the little stuffed lion to turn pale. He tried to run back into the shop where it is safe but Renji grabbed before he could. As they were walking towards the museum, Kon who was strapped to Uryu's back began his usual complaining.

"Would someone explain to me why I am a bag that kids!?" he yelled from his position strapped to Uryu's back.

"I told you already, we don't know when or where these guys might attack us so we need you to watch our back," Ichigo replied in a bored tone.

"I get that but why do I need to be a kids backpack!?" he whined causing Ichigo to groan and tune the complaining stuffed lion out. After walking for about another 5 minutes the group arrived at the museum. It was completely dark, there wasn't any sign of anyone being there.

"Do you think someone should stay outside and keep watch?" Renji asked as they looked at the doors to the museum.

"No, if the situation was different then maybe," Ichigo said in a serious voice. "But with them wanting to pick us off I think it is better for us to stick together," he said while the others nodded. The group then began walking up the stairs of the museum and pushed open the doors. When they entered the museum hey couldn't see anything. It was pitch black due to the lights being off. The only thing they could see was the giant skeleton of a T-Rex illuminated by the moonlight. The thing the group heard was the sound of a little girl giggling through the P.A system.

"Welcome!" she said with a giggle. "We are going to play hide and seek, you guys are it!" she said causing Ichigo to growl.

"We didn't come here to play games!" Uryu yelled out into the museum.

"Stop being such a spoilsport!" the little girl said in a slightly angry voice. "If you find us I promise you we are going to return your friend!" she said in a sing-song tone.

"Not going to happen," Ichigo said as he walked forward and pulled out his pistols.

"Ah ah ahhhh!" the girl said in a child-like manner. "You have to leave your weapons in the case off to your right," she said causing Ichigo to raise his eyebrow and look over to the right and see a case with his and Renji's zanpakuto's name on it. The names were spelled wrong which causes both Renji and Ichigo's eyebrow to twitch slightly before Ichigo's eyes narrowed slightly with a smirk on his face.

'Interesting,' he thought with a smirk. 'I don't recall them ever seeing Renji's Shikai and yet they somehow know it's named,' Ichigo thought before he turned his attention back to the girl's voice.

"Yeah, that is not going to happen," Ichigo said in a cold tone. "If you want my zanpakuto you are going to have to pry it out of my cold dead hands," he said while Renji nodded in agreement.

"That's not part of the-" *Bang!* the little girl was cut off by Ichigo shooting the speakers where her voice was coming through.

"As I said earlier, we won't be playing games," Ichigo said and he closed his eyes and began trying to sense them.

"Ichigo what are you doing?" Uryu asked in an angry voice.

"Yeah Ichigo, Orihime could get hurt," Renji added. Chad just looked at Ichigo for a while before he spoke.

"I trust Ichigo on this," he said surprising the other two. "He has never done anything that will put his friends at risk so I don't think he will do that now," Chand said causing them to realize that he was right on the matter. Ichigo then opened his eyes and spoke.

"Found them," he said getting everyone's attention.

"Yeah, I sense them too," Kon said causing everyone to snap their heads around at him. Uryu closed his eyes and began trying to sense what they were sensing for a few seconds before he opened them and spoke.

"So can I," he said. "It's faint but I can sense it too and you are right Ichigo it is similar but I can't figure out from where," he said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I think I figured it out," Ichigo said while looking at Kon before he turned and began walking up to the second level of the museum. "And for your sake, you better hope I'm wrong, Kisuke," Ichigo said softer than normal so no one heard him. As Ichigo was halfway up the stairs all his senses shouted danger and the sound of rocks crackling was heard. He immediately looked down and saw the stairs were starting to give way causing his eyes to widen. He quickly flash-stepped back down the stairs where his friends were just beginning to follow him up.

"What the hell!?" Uryu yelled out he stared at the collapsing staircase.

"That was close," Ichigo said as he as he appeared next to Renji and left out a sigh of relief.

"Hehe you can't go up there just yet," the voice of the little girl said with a giggle off to their left. When they all looked over they saw her sitting on top of the T-rex's head.

"Well, at least you saved us the trouble of hunting you down," Ichigo said while looking up at the girl.

"You have been causing me a whole lot of trouble you know that, Strawberry," the little girl said causing Ichigo to growl.

"Listen, you return Orihime and I'll let you live," Ichigo lied having no intention of letting her keep her life after this. "How does that sound?" He asked with a fake smile on his face.

"That doesn't sound fun," the girl said in a childish manner. "let's play something else," she said happily.

"If you think because you are all the way up there or those two up on the second floor are going to save you," Ichigo said causing her eyes to widen. "You got a whole other thing coming," he said as he flash-stepped towards her at full speed leaving an afterimage behind. The next thing the little girl felt was wind blow through her hair before the Ichigo she was looking at started to disappear as though he was an illusion causing her eyes to widen in panic.

"What the!" she yelled out in shock as he stood on the dinosaur's head.

"Looking for me," came the voice of Ichigo from behind her causing her to turn and look behind her only to see Ichigo standing behind her under the moonlight and his blood red eyes glowing as he stared down at her. No matter how much she tried she couldn't move a muscle. She wanted to scream for Noba to come and rescue her but her voice won't come out. He heard was pounding in her chest and her ears were ringing from the around of blood flowing to her head. Ichigo then reached into his pocket and pulled out his substitute soul reaper bag confusing his friends for a few seconds before Uryu's eyes widen when he realized why Ichigo did that.

"Of course!" he said as he stared at Ichigo and the terrified girl. "It makes sense now!" he said confusing Chad and Renji. The girl couldn't look away from Ichigo's eyes, she was too scared to look away so she never noticed Ichigo taking out the badge or him moving the badge towards her. The next thing she felt was something touched her chest and the next thing that happened caused everyone except Ichigo and Uryu's eyes to widen. A small pill came out of the girl's mouth and her body fell to the ground lifeless. Ichigo grabbed the pill and looked off to his right at one of the doors on the second floor.

"Guess I was right after all," he said as he continued to look at the door. "You better come out or else I am going to crush this pill," he said causing the door to slowly open and Noba and Kurōdo exited out of the room. Ichigo then jumped down from the giant skeleton and landed next to his friends with the small pill still in his hand.

"How did you know they were mod souls?" Uryu asked Ichigo causing Renji and Chand's eyes to widen.

"It was simple really," Ichigo said while looking up at the two mod souls. "Their spirit energy was similar to what I usually felt when Kon is using my body," Ichigo said while Uryu nodded. "The reason why I didn't realize it earlier is that his spirit energy is much weaker when he is in that toy so it was more difficult to sense," he said causing everyone to understand.

"That makes sense," Uryu said as he adjusted his glasses. "I too figured it out, but mainly because I was carrying Kon around all this time so I noticed the similarities," he said causing Ichigo to look over Renji.

"My, my, I am quite surprised that Mr. Lieutenant over here doesn't sense anything," Ichigo mocked causing Renji to growl. Before Renji could yell at Ichigo, he turned and look back up at the mod souls. "Return Orihime here now...or else I'll crush this soul candy!" Ichigo said as he held up the pill between his fingers. The two mod looked at each other for a few seconds before they nodded and disappear on the second floor.

"Hey Ichigo," Chad said getting his attention. "Look over there," he said pointing to the place where the staircase collapsed. When Ichigo looked over he saw the staircase was perfectly normal.

"So it was all an Illusion," he said in a surprised voice.

"It was likely that little girls doing," Renji said causing everyone to nod in agreement. All of their attention was taken away from the staircase to the sound of footsteps coming from their left. When they all looked over they saw Orihime walking towards them from out of one of the hallways on the first floor.

"Orihime!" Uryu and Ichigo said as they stared at her. "Are you okay?" Uryu asked as he watched her walk towards them.

"Yeah, I don't know what happen all I know I woke up in one of the rooms over there," she said pointing to the hallway where she walked out from.

"I'm glad you're okay," Ichigo said as he walked up and hugged Orihime taking everyone by surprise. While hugging her Ichigo then spoke in a chilling tone. "And do you take me for a fool?" he asked as he pressed the substitute soul reaper badge on Orihime's back causing a similar pill to shoot out of her mouth. Ichigo caught the pill as Orihime's body fell to the ground and transformed into Kurōdo.

"Him again!" Uryu yelled as he stared at the body.

"How did you know it was him, Ichigo?" Chad asked.

"His friend was missing," Ichigo said pointing up to the second floor causing all of them to look up and see Noba stand there sweating slightly. "Now bring the real Orihime," Ichigo said with a smirk. Noba then sunk into the ground and returned two minutes late on the second floor with a sleeping Orihime in his arms. He then placed her on the ground and stepped away from her. Ichigo then looked in his hands at the two pills that he was holding and took the one that belonged to the girl and tossed it to Noba surprising everyone.

"Ichigo what are you doing?" Uryu yelled as he ran towards Orihime.

"I need to ask her something," Ichigo replied as he watches Noba catch the pill. "Put it back in her gigai," he said causing the mod soul to walk over to the little girl's body and put the pill in her mouth causing the body to come to life.

"W-what's going on?" the soft voice of Orihime said as she began to wake up causing everyone to look over at her. Ichigo walked over and knelt down beside her before he spoke.

"Are you okay?" he asked with a warm smile on his face.

"Yeah, but where am I?" she asked as she looked around.

"We'll explain later," he said before he stood back up and looked at the now awake little girl was who was looking at Ichigo with nothing but fear in her eyes causing him to smirk.

"Oh the wonderful smell of fear," Came the excited voice of Alucard Voice inside Ichigo's inner world causing Ichigo to chuckle.

"So," Ichigo said getting everyone's attention. "Kisuke put you up to this didn't he?" Ichigo asked causing everyone's eyes to widen in shock.

"H-how did you know?" the little girl asked the question that was in everyone's minds causing Ichigo to chuckle before he replied.

"It was simple really," he said as he spun his pistols on both of his index fingers. "Once I realized that you were mod souls I remembered Rukia tell me that all mod souls were destroyed a long time ago. So then I thought who is the most likely person in the world of the living to have access to banned artifacts from the Soul Society," he said causing every one of his friends to understand how he reached that conclusion. "I got Kon from Kisuke, so it wasn't really that big of a surprise that he had more than one mod soul," he said.

"Urahara sure is a sneaky man isn't he," Renji said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"The second thing that made me realize it was Kisuke had to do with Renji," Ichigo said surprising everyone again. "His zanpakuto to be exact. Renji had never released his Shikai in front of any of you and yet you knew the name of his zanpakuto," he said while pointing over to the cases where they were supposed to place their zanpakuto in.

"I see, so whoever was behind all of this had to know our personal information as well," Uryu noted while nodding his head.

"And the only one who knows all of our personal information whether we like it or not is Kisuke," Ichigo said.

"My, my, Tessai I told you, my apprentice sure is smart," came an all too similar jovial voice causing Ichigo's eyebrow to twitch before he looked behind them and saw Tessai and Kisuke standing there with a stupid grin on his face waving at them. "Hello, all!" Kisuke said in his usual childlike manner.

"Kisuke, you have two minutes to explain yourself," Ichigo said as he pointed both pistols at Kisuke who didn't look the least bit scared.

"Calm down, calm down," he said while waving his fan at Ichigo. "This was an exercise designed to help you better your teamwork," he said causing Ichigo and his friends to raise an eyebrow. "All of you were in the Soul Society fighting your own battles. This was a training exercise designed to help you all work better as a team and put more trust into each other," he said causing Ichigo to nod his head before he flipped Kurōdo soul candy to Noba and turned to Kisuke.

"Kisuke," Ichigo said in a sweet friendly voice. "Run," he said chillingly as his face turned cold.
